Umm a little weird question but I do not know where to ask so let me just shoot this

If I sit on the floor cross legged like in meditative stance and my mind begin to remember God or I have God in my mind or in prayer, while in that stance, my body(torso up) would begin to move automatically, jerking in rhythm. It may begin weak but then gather its pace. I can stop it anytime and it will stop when I no longer have God in my mind. If I stay neutral with respect with my body posture my body would jerk. Nothing extreme, the movement feels like you're in a small swing chair. . . . . .The funny thing it would stop naturally when I stop praying or no longer have God in my mind. Simply having God in my mind would trigger the jerking rhythm again.

Does anybody know what could be causing it?

The human body is an amazing thing.

Sounds a little like a nerve impulse that's triggered by your putting your body into some physiological state.

Can you replicate this reaction if you're sitting upright in a chair, rather than cross-legged on the floor? Or does this only happen then?

I imagine that if it's only when you're sitting on the deck, that it's related somehow to the nerves/muscles in your lower back or upper legs; likely some nerve or blood vessel pressure.

How could anyone answer unless they knew the name of the god you pray to?

I'm guessing the christian god, since he did write it God (with a capital letter)

Don't know the answer. Could be some subconcies reaction. Could it be that your mother would rock you gently while talking about god to you and you remembered that motion on a subconcies level ?? The meditaion about god would bring that out

"As a man thinketh, so is he."

We can create many effects simply because we program our mind to react to certain beliefs, it happens with all religions.

Many times because of belief, our subconcious takes over and tells our body to react a certain way. We want physical experiences that tell us what we believe is true and doesn't matter if it's true or not, your mind believes them, you will make it happen in your life.

Capitalization of the word God or G-d may refer to Him, but not necessarily so. He does have a name.

The bobbing back and forth I don't know about. As far as I know their is one transformation, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. One of the express duties of the Comfortor is to write God's Commandments on the tablets of our heart. Therefore the only experience stemming from belief that I know of. Is joy from knowing the truth and simply learning, knowing and abiding in His Commandments. That I think is our only "biblical" proof we love Him.
